Happy Holidays From Sheri McConnell
Hi Creators and Big Thinkers!
I wanted to take some time today to say thank you for letting me come into your inboxes in 2009!
And more importantly, I hope I was able to come into your heart and that I made you feel more inspired and empowered this year. That was my goal.
As you and I move through the amazing journey of life each day, I am in awe of the power we each have to create positive change in the world. We have the power to create positive change in our communities, in our families, and in ourselves.
I know we do, because over the last 10 years I have been experiencing it first hand through my work online and offline as a mompreneur, writer, and “coachsultant” to many of you! And it fills my heart to see so many of you out there doing the same powerful work.
You are helping other people live their passions and create beautiful and wonderfully magical lives for themselves. And yes, many of you, my clients did this in a very “wonky” economy as if you were given a “lucky pass”.
I knew why some of you were having an amazing 2009 when many weren’t… and there was no luck involved. You were thinking big and most importantly taking scary, bold action.
As a gift of sorts to you today, I offer some of the most important and life-altering mindsets I taught (and lived!) this year and I hope they resonate with you as you gracefully move into 2010.
- You need a group of “invested” like minded souls to hold you accountable.
- Being successful takes recommitment over and over again along the journey.
- Surround yourself with people that will expand your mindsets. You can only grow proportionally to the people you surround yourself with.
- Sometimes to move forward you must trust your intuition and just take the leap.
- The growth is almost always proportional to the investment.
- Growth does not come without discomfort.
- People are open to you leading them because of what they experienced with the 2009 economy. They have let go of their expectations and are ready to finally learn.
- When your message is your marketing, there is no selling involved.
These are just a few of the mindsets that moved my clients and myself forward at lightning speed this year. I look forward to continuing our journey together in 2010 and learning completely new lessons!
Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your trust and love.
Enjoy your holidays!
